My teeth were in terrible condition. After seeing Dr. Steinberg, I opted for the all-on-4 dental implant procedure or "teeth in a day" because it allowed me to receive an implant supported denture the same day of implant surgery.

Thank you Megan. The day after surgery, my wife and went out to eat. I enjoyed a steak dinner that night. I hadn't been able to eat steak or anything that required serious chewing in years. So, that was a real treat. The initial, temporary dentures worked great. I had no problems getting used to eating with them. Now that I have the final dentures in place, I'm still enjoying foods that I didn't dare eat when my teeth were so messed up. Also, I don't have to remove the dentures to clean them. Getting the "teeth in a day" on implants was life-changing, and I'm glad I had Dr. Steinberg perform the procedure.

THAT IS A BS REVIEW

I Just Had Same Day Teeth Implant Surgery On Monday And I Am Calling Total Bs On The Review From Joe Stafford. In Any Implant Surgery But Most Certainly In The Immediate Load Teeth You Could Not Have Ate A Steak Dinner The Day After Surgery If Your Life Depended On It. In Fact You Are Not Even Allowed To Eat Bread For 2 To 6 Months Until Your Permanent Teeth Are Put In. I Am On A Liquid Diet For 2 Months And After That I Cannot Have Anything That Has A Harder Consistency Than Scrambled Eggs. I Laughed When I Read This Review. Not Only That I Only Had My Bottom Teeth Removed. This Person Claimed To Have The Top And Bottom Removed And Had A Steak Dinner The Night After Surgery. What A Total Crock

I totally agree, I just had 6 post put in with a temporary denture and there is no way you can eat steak with holes drilled in your soft tissue. However I had no idea you could get a temporary denture attached to your implants the same day. My denture fits over my implants and comes in and out. Joe's teeth do look great and I cant wait to get to that stage.

For those interested, here is a Q&A that discusses diet recommendations after a dental implant is placed:

Hey you know what, Smiles Tucson Family Dentistry is the best dental clinic for me, The before and after pictures of their previous patients are proof that their dental clinic is one of the leading dental clinics in Arizona.
